Well, it looks like I have an updated Nero, because I don't hear the worrd "Underrun protection" anymore. This version asks me to rename some of the files to match whatever it is, or if I want to continue. I just hit Continue and go. This later version of Nero came with the burner I got this year to replace my first one on which the door got busted. In this throwaway age, it is easier to get a whole new thing than to replace a broken spring. Crazy.
